(47,419 posts)I think Trump and/or Putin have something really big on him. His about-face was head spinning. Sadly, whatever the blackmail is that being withheld will probably surface eventually. With Trump, loyalty is always one-sided and eventually everyone gets thrown under the bus.

(131 posts)Ive been here for awhile but I hardly post. It really saddens me how far Graham has gone down this path. Actually, saddens is the wrong word. Angers me. He is stabbing McCain in the back with what he is doing.

(1,178 posts)No doubt Trump has something on him. Trump has lost, there's no other reason for him to remain as if he's Trump's puppy dog. In fact it's rather obvious by how much he's overdoing it.

(25,301 posts)I do think that Lindsey is awash in campaign funds that he needs to spend. (Although I do not know how this works!) He is donating $500,000 to Trump's legal fund.
Other than that, I have no idea.
BainsBane
(53,032 posts)His promise of funds could be like those Trump makes.
So far, Trump hasn't agreed to pay for a WI recount.

(5,499 posts)He was just reelected by SC. Anything that would come out now would be old news by 2026.
I don't think he knows what he wants to be honest. I think he wants to be a bad ass but he doesn't have that in him. And he can't be the old southern charmer, because he's not that either.
Windy City Charlie
(1,178 posts)In that case, he wants access to Trump's base for 2024 and Trump's endorsement if Trump decides not to run.

(16,646 posts)There is no upside for him in appearing to oppose or undermine Trump. And there is no downside to what he is doing.

(42,862 posts)... or if he's going all Jeffrey Epstein on us, then that might be something that would motivate him to cooperate with Trump (or Putin).
Lindsey Graham is such a complete phony!

(5,443 posts)They (Republican pols) all do, or they will lose their jobs. Trump will still have a great deal of power, because of his supporters (who love him more than the GOP). He may try to block Biden from the sidelines.
BainsBane
(53,032 posts)about the GOP base. Of course the problem is what it does to the country.

(2,574 posts)in the US, and declining numbers of whites, Republicans will no longer be able to win Presidential elections, unless Republicans can cheat Trump back into office this election. If Trump is allowed to cheat, and steal the 2020 election, Republicans will be able to use the fascist court system to make severely unjust voter suppression rules, in order to make it more difficult, or even impossible, for Democrats to vote and win elections.
Or, Graham hopes Trump will successfully cheat, and use the next 4 years to cement a permanent Trump fascist dictatorship of the Republican party.
Essentially, Graham wants Trump to cheat to win so that POC can never be equal to his corrupt lily white fascist ass. He enjoys white privilege and white supremacy and is determined to make it permanent law in the US.
Speculation, but the Republican party is rotten to the core and will do anything, no matter how corrupt, in order to hold onto power.

(9,670 posts)And because most of these GOP congressmen have tiny shriveled up little balls and put re-election in front of statesmanship.
